در هر امری می‌توان به یک شاهد اعتماد کرد جز آنچه که عمیقا با منفعت شخصی، احساسات، پیشداوری‌ها و یا عشق حیرت‌انگیزِ او مرتبط باشد. چنانچه پای این چیزها در میان باشد، شواهد تاییدکننده بخواهید درست به همان نسبت که احتمال می‌رود چیزی که برایش شهادت داده نقض شود.

Trust a witness in all matters in which neither his self-interest, his passions, his prejudices, nor the love of the marvellous is strongly concerned. When they are involved, require corroborative evidence in exact proportion to the contravention of probability by the thing testified.
